I’m thrilled to report that the Body Hunters has been translated into six languages, besides English (Japanese, Italian, French, German, Portuguese, Korean.) The French edition, in particular, appears to be making a splash. It’s been selected a “book of the month” by a prominent popular science magazine, and was covered in the French version of Time magazine, “Le Nouvel Observateur,” along with coverage in the dailies and national radio.
I find this interesting, given that the French actually have some of the very best laws protecting clinical trial subjects in the world. Could reader interest in this topic be viewed as some version of rubbernecking? Perhaps so.
